It just happens, and I have unfortunately no good answer for it.
Apple use both, and sometimes as when I ordered my Mac Studio and the Apple Studio Display at the same moment, they still got delivered with from different carriers.
I have a theory though….
Can depend on from what Apple storage place and from where they are shipped.
Thanks for the response - I appreciate it. It just strikes me as very strange. Same machines - different locations to ship from.
Check the details of their tracking paths, when you receive them. See if the the mystery can be solved.
I can be totally wrong according to where you are located.
Different countries can have different systems as well, but we all know that Apple is a strange company, that is no news however.
Regardless, I am sure you’ll enjoy your new MBA's when they arrive ☺️
I've JUST ordered the 15' inch with 16 GB RAM and 512 SDD... in SILVER 
It was such a struggle to decide on the color. Midnight and those fingerprints? Hell no! Starlight? Too gold for me. And I have the Space Grey Pro from 2018, and I looked really long and hard on it, and it just felt depressing to look at despite liking that the black keys compliment the color. Hopefully I'll enjoy the contrast between the silver and black keys. But it was time for a change. It'll also be more complimentary to my Studio Display and dark Magic Keyboard.
It'll arrive between July 21-25th. Such a long time...for me, but I'll survive

Thanks - nothing in the tracking history told us anything. My wife's arrived last Friday. Mine, this most recent Monday. So strange. In set up, after initialization and sign in, my wife's did the software update. On mine, I got all the way through the entire set up process. Went to software update and then got the same update that hers did initially. Such strange behavior for identical machines.
This is like the same science experience we have in real life. We have b/g twins and so we watch kids the exact same age develop and see how things related to their gender or the class in school influence them. But the age is held constant so it's fun to see. Same thing here. These are like twin laptops coming from difference places and we can see how different they are as they work. So it's pretty interesting. Thanks for all the input here.
UPDATE: I just got an email from Apple saying it will arrive on MONDAY the 17th!!!I've JUST ordered the 15' inch with 16 GB RAM and 512 SDD... in SILVER

Nice, I just ordered mines, same spec but in Midnight today. Hopefully I get the same email tomorrow.UPDATE: I just got an email from Apple saying it will arrive on MONDAY the 17th!!!
It was so shocked to find out it'll arrive this early! Now I’m gonna struggle getting through the weekend. It’s gonna feel so looooooooooong
I hope it comes early for you like it did for us. We both had 7/16 expected dates. One came on the Friday before 7/7 and the other one came on the next Monday 7/10. So I hope you have some good luck on the timing as well.
Just ordered (my first mac) silver MBA 15” 16GB/1TB delivery in two weeks 👀
I hope it comes sooner, I can’t wait!

Thank you 😊 It still says it'll arrive on Monday, but I'm a little worried. It's been stuck in Shanghai since the 13th.
How nice both of you got yours so early! Feels like Christmas, right?
it does feel like Christmas,but truly don't panic about that. Mine, which was supposed to be on 7/16 per Apple (which is weird because it was a Sunday) had an arrival date on Monday 7/10 per UPS tracking. It was in Shanghai until Sunday afternoon then Lexington and then arrived locally at 4:00am Monday and was delivered that afternoon. So I think you will be good and then hope you enjoy your machine as much as we have.
It was too good to be true. It didn't arrive today
It's been stuck in germany all day, and now they're trying to convince me it'll arrive noon the 18th. Yeah, my a** Oh no - I am so sorry to hear that - good luck. What a mess!It was too good to be true. It didn't arrive today
It was in that stage around 1 day for my MBA
And around half a day for iPhone clear case (was in stock)
Ordered a 15" Air in Starlight. Should arrive within the next two weeks
Loving my Space Grey 16/512 GB 15' air 😍 So beautiful and light! Such a great upgrade from my 2018 MacBook Pro. It doesn't feel like I went from a Pro to an Air. It feels just as Pro in a slim factor. Like a PS4 vs PS4 Slim situation. But obviously new cheaper laptops today will be on the same leve, if not better, than 5+ years old PRO Machines.
Got my hands on the Starlight Air. Love it. Have not used my iMac since it was delivered 😄
Yep, have hardly touched the 13.3 since the 15Air arrived a few months ago...
Haha yeah not sure either what to do. Although just brought it on a trip and works well, small
